______________________________
[Verse 1]
G
You're not her
C D
Though I try to see you differently
G
I toe the line
C D
See I'm searching for what used to be, mine ooohhhh
G
I Saw your eyes
C D
Then I saw her staring back at me
G
And I will try
G C
To find another one who's suited to me
D
As well as her
[Pre-Hook]
C D Em
I've moved, far away from you
G
And I want to
C D Em
See you here beside me dear
G
but things aren't clear
[Hook]
C D
And we never even tried
Em
We never even talked
G
We never even thought in the long run
C D
Whenever it was painful
Em
Whenever I was away
G
I'd miss you
C
I miss you
[Verse 2]
G
She was mine
I was hers
C D
And all that's in between
G
if she would cry
I would shelter her
C D
And keep her from the darkness that will be
[Pre-Hook]
C D Em
If I moved, far away from you
G
And I want to
C D Em
See you here beside me dear
G
but things aren't clear
[Hook]
C D
And we never even tried
Em
We never even talked
G
We never even thought in the long run
C D
Whenever it was painful
Em
Whenever I was away
G
I'd miss you
C D
I miss you
[Bridge]
G
Don't trap me in, it's not my time
C
If you cut me deep then I might lie
And if you
Em D G C
Scar and leave me, like a sunburn
G
Don't trap me in, it's not my time
C
if you cut deep then I might lie
Em
And you
D C
Scarred and left me, like a sunburn
[Hook]
C D
And we never even tried
Em
We never even talked
G
We never even thought in the long run
C D
Whenever it was painful
Em
Whenever I was away
G
I'd miss you
C
I miss you

***Although the chords above are correct, use these variations in order to match
Ed's sound better: ***
For G chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|

For C chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|2-------|
A|3-------|
E|x-------|
You can also use this slight variation as a C chord:
- Note: This works best if you're playing the other chords as regular chords.
For D chords use this:
e|x-------|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|4-------|

______________________________
^^^ These chords sound best if you play the root note and the one above it at the
same time, as this is what I think Ed does.
For example, if you wanted to play a G chord, on the first strum of the chord be
sure to emphasise these two notes:
e|--------|
B|--------|
G|--------|
D|9-------|
A|10------|
E|--------|
Hope that helped you learn a quality song! :)
